ENVIRONMENTAL INTERPRETATION
"Interpretation is an approach of environmental education that provokes personal connections to environmental issues, ultimately in an effort to inspire positive action on those issues" (dela Cruz 2017)
For my service learning project with California State Parks, I wanted to help educate park visitors about caring for the beaches and dunes in the Monterey Bay. I created a new brochure to the Fort Ord Dunes cell phone tour and added two new tour stops on ice plant and the Smith's blue butterfly. My service learning course in environmental interpretation helped me become a certified interpretative guide by the National Association for Interpretation.
